Abstract
This study evaluated the ef cacy of pyrantel pamoate and ivermectin on gastrointestinal nematodes in
dogs. Fecal egg counts per gram (EPG) were measured by the fecal egg count reduction test (FECRT)
in order to evaluate the anthelmintic ef ciency and fecal oat exams were also performed to assess the
concordance between coproparasitological techniques. A total of 45 naturally infected dogs in the city
of Bandeirantes, Paraná State, were selected and divided into three groups: Group 1, 15 animals that
received pyrantel pamoate (145 mg) in a single dose; Group 2, 15 animals that received ivermectin (3
